  • Pentacta tesselara Cherbonnier, 1970 (Fig. 24 A – D) Pentacta tesselara Cherbonnier, 1970: 282, fig. 2 A – O; Thandar, 1991: 123, fig. 8 A – J; Samyn, 2003: 125 (distribution) Colochirus minutus; Macnae & Kalk, 1958: 130 (non Ludwig, 1875) Plesiocolochirus tesselara; Thandar, 2006: 30, fig. 10 Material examined. Non-type material: IE-2007-814 (3 specimens, sampled in Mahajamba Bay) Remarks. Hitherto this species was known from only from the shallow-waters of southern Mozambique (Macnae & Kalk, 1958) and the East coast of South Africa (Cherbonnier, 1970, Thandar, 1991, 2006). The present records, sampled at 257 m depth in the Northern Mozambique Channel are thus considerable latitudinal and bathymetric range extensions.
